Method

Step 1

Step 2

Place a frying pan on medium to high heat and fry the bacon until crispy – about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the following ingredients together (you can use your hands): steak mince, chopped onion (white onion), parsley and egg. Season well with salt and pepper. Shape the mince into a patty.

Step 4

Return the frying pan you cooked the bacon in to the stove (medium to high heat). Add a knob of butter and when hot, add the patty. They should sizzle when they hit the pan (if the pan is hot enough). Cook the patty for about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Make sure they are nicely browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Cut the burger bun in half and toast lightly.

Step 6

To assemble the burger, place half a bun on the plate. Add layers of salad leaves, tomato, dill pickles and red onion slices on top. Then add the burger patty, grated cheese and a slice of bacon. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
